16 | Suppose you have some source code. You want to make some light modifications to it - replacing a few characters here and there, wrapping it with a header and footer, etc - and ideally you'd like to generate a source map at the end of it. You've thought about using something like [recast](https://github.com/benjamn/recast) (which allows you to generate an AST from some JavaScript, manipulate it, and reprint it with a sourcemap without losing your comments and formatting), but it seems like overkill for your needs (or maybe the source code isn't JavaScript).
|
---|
17 |
|
---|
18 | Your requirements are, frankly, rather niche. But they're requirements that I also have, and for which I made magic-string. It's a small, fast utility for manipulating strings and generating sourcemaps.
|
---|
19 |
|
---|
20 | ## Installation
|
---|
21 |
|
---|
22 | magic-string works in both node.js and browser environments. For node, install with npm:
|
---|
23 |
|
---|
24 | ```bash
|
---|
25 | npm i magic-string
|
---|
26 | ```
|
---|
27 |
|
---|
28 | To use in browser, grab the [magic-string.umd.js](https://unpkg.com/magic-string/dist/magic-string.umd.js) file and add it to your page:
|
---|
29 |
|
---|
30 | ```html
|
---|
31 | <script src='magic-string.umd.js'></script>
|
---|
32 | ```
|
---|
33 |
|
---|
34 | (It also works with various module systems, if you prefer that sort of thing - it has a dependency on [vlq](https://github.com/Rich-Harris/vlq).)
|
---|
35 |
|
---|
36 | ## Usage
|
---|
37 |
|
---|
38 | These examples assume you're in node.js, or something similar:
|
---|
39 |
|
---|
40 | ```js
|
---|
41 | var MagicString = require( 'magic-string' );
|
---|
42 | var s = new MagicString( 'problems = 99' );
|
---|
43 |
|
---|
44 | s.overwrite( 0, 8, 'answer' );
|
---|
45 | s.toString(); // 'answer = 99'
|
---|
46 |
|
---|
47 | s.overwrite( 11, 13, '42' ); // character indices always refer to the original string
|
---|
48 | s.toString(); // 'answer = 42'
|
---|
49 |
|
---|
50 | s.prepend( 'var ' ).append( ';' ); // most methods are chainable
|
---|
51 | s.toString(); // 'var answer = 42;'
|
---|
52 |
|
---|
53 | var map = s.generateMap({
|
---|
54 | source: 'source.js',
|
---|
55 | file: 'converted.js.map',
|
---|
56 | includeContent: true
|
---|
57 | }); // generates a v3 sourcemap
|
---|
58 |
|
---|
59 | require( 'fs' ).writeFile( 'converted.js', s.toString() );
|
---|
60 | require( 'fs' ).writeFile( 'converted.js.map', map.toString() );
|
---|
61 | ```
|
---|
62 |
|
---|
63 | You can pass an options argument:
|
---|
64 |
|
---|
65 | ```js
|
---|
66 | var s = new MagicString( someCode, {
|
---|
67 | // both these options will be used if you later
|
---|
68 | // call `bundle.addSource( s )` - see below
|
---|
69 | filename: 'foo.js',
|
---|
70 | indentExclusionRanges: [/*...*/]
|
---|
71 | });
|
---|
72 | ```
|
---|
73 |
|
---|
74 | ## Methods
|
---|
75 |
|
---|
76 | ### s.addSourcemapLocation( index )
|
---|
77 |
|
---|
78 | Adds the specified character index (with respect to the original string) to sourcemap mappings, if `hires` is `false` (see below).
|
---|
79 |
|
---|
80 | ### s.append( content )
|
---|
81 |
|
---|
82 | Appends the specified content to the end of the string. Returns `this`.
|
---|
83 |
|
---|
84 | ### s.appendLeft( index, content )
|
---|
85 |
|
---|
86 | Appends the specified `content` at the `index` in the original string. If a range *ending* with `index` is subsequently moved, the insert will be moved with it. Returns `this`. See also `s.prependLeft(...)`.
|
---|
87 |
|
---|
88 | ### s.appendRight( index, content )
|
---|
89 |
|
---|
90 | Appends the specified `content` at the `index` in the original string. If a range *starting* with `index` is subsequently moved, the insert will be moved with it. Returns `this`. See also `s.prependRight(...)`.
|
---|
91 |
|
---|
92 | ### s.clone()
|
---|
93 |
|
---|
94 | Does what you'd expect.
|
---|
95 |
|
---|
96 | ### s.generateDecodedMap( options )
|
---|
97 |
|
---|
98 | Generates a sourcemap object with raw mappings in array form, rather than encoded as a string. See `generateMap` documentation below for options details. Useful if you need to manipulate the sourcemap further, but most of the time you will use `generateMap` instead.
|
---|
99 |
|
---|
100 | ### s.generateMap( options )
|
---|
101 |
|
---|
102 | Generates a [version 3 sourcemap](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U1RGAehQwRypUTovF1KRlpiOFze0b-_2gc6fAH0KY0k/edit). All options are, well, optional:
|
---|
103 |
|
---|
104 | * `file` - the filename where you plan to write the sourcemap
|
---|
105 | * `source` - the filename of the file containing the original source
|
---|
106 | * `includeContent` - whether to include the original content in the map's `sourcesContent` array
|
---|
107 | * `hires` - whether the mapping should be high-resolution. Hi-res mappings map every single character, meaning (for example) your devtools will always be able to pinpoint the exact location of function calls and so on. With lo-res mappings, devtools may only be able to identify the correct line - but they're quicker to generate and less bulky. If sourcemap locations have been specified with `s.addSourceMapLocation()`, they will be used here.
|
---|
108 |
|
---|
109 | The returned sourcemap has two (non-enumerable) methods attached for convenience:
|
---|
110 |
|
---|
111 | * `toString` - returns the equivalent of `JSON.stringify(map)`
|
---|
112 | * `toUrl` - returns a DataURI containing the sourcemap. Useful for doing this sort of thing:
|
---|
113 |
|
---|
114 | ```js
|
---|
115 | code += '\n//# sourceMappingURL=' + map.toUrl();
|
---|
116 | ```
|
---|
117 |
|
---|
118 | ### s.indent( prefix[, options] )
|
---|
119 |
|
---|
120 | Prefixes each line of the string with `prefix`. If `prefix` is not supplied, the indentation will be guessed from the original content, falling back to a single tab character. Returns `this`.
|
---|
121 |
|
---|
122 | The `options` argument can have an `exclude` property, which is an array of `[start, end]` character ranges. These ranges will be excluded from the indentation - useful for (e.g.) multiline strings.
|
---|
123 |
|
---|
124 | ### s.insertLeft( index, content )
|
---|
125 |
|
---|
126 | **DEPRECATED** since 0.17 – use `s.appendLeft(...)` instead
|
---|
127 |
|
---|
128 | ### s.insertRight( index, content )
|
---|
129 |
|
---|
130 | **DEPRECATED** since 0.17 – use `s.prependRight(...)` instead
|
---|
131 |
|
---|
132 | ### s.locate( index )
|
---|
133 |
|
---|
134 | **DEPRECATED** since 0.10 – see [#30](https://github.com/Rich-Harris/magic-string/pull/30)
|
---|
135 |
|
---|
136 | ### s.locateOrigin( index )
|
---|
137 |
|
---|
138 | **DEPRECATED** since 0.10 – see [#30](https://github.com/Rich-Harris/magic-string/pull/30)
|
---|
139 |
|
---|
140 | ### s.move( start, end, newIndex )
|
---|
141 |
|
---|
142 | Moves the characters from `start` and `end` to `index`. Returns `this`.
|
---|
143 |
|
---|
144 | ### s.overwrite( start, end, content[, options] )
|
---|
145 |
|
---|
146 | Replaces the characters from `start` to `end` with `content`. The same restrictions as `s.remove()` apply. Returns `this`.
|
---|
147 |
|
---|
148 | The fourth argument is optional. It can have a `storeName` property — if `true`, the original name will be stored for later inclusion in a sourcemap's `names` array — and a `contentOnly` property which determines whether only the content is overwritten, or anything that was appended/prepended to the range as well.
|
---|
149 |
|
---|
150 | ### s.prepend( content )
|
---|
151 |
|
---|
152 | Prepends the string with the specified content. Returns `this`.
|
---|
153 |
|
---|
154 | ### s.prependLeft ( index, content )
|
---|
155 |
|
---|
156 | Same as `s.appendLeft(...)`, except that the inserted content will go *before* any previous appends or prepends at `index`
|
---|
157 |
|
---|
158 | ### s.prependRight ( index, content )
|
---|
159 |
|
---|
160 | Same as `s.appendRight(...)`, except that the inserted content will go *before* any previous appends or prepends at `index`
|
---|
161 |
|
---|
162 | ### s.remove( start, end )
|
---|
163 |
|
---|
164 | Removes the characters from `start` to `end` (of the original string, **not** the generated string). Removing the same content twice, or making removals that partially overlap, will cause an error. Returns `this`.
|
---|
165 |
|
---|
166 | ### s.slice( start, end )
|
---|
167 |
|
---|
168 | Returns the content of the generated string that corresponds to the slice between `start` and `end` of the original string. Throws error if the indices are for characters that were already removed.
|
---|
169 |
|
---|
170 | ### s.snip( start, end )
|
---|
171 |
|
---|
172 | Returns a clone of `s`, with all content before the `start` and `end` characters of the original string removed.
|
---|
173 |
|
---|
174 | ### s.toString()
|
---|
175 |
|
---|
176 | Returns the generated string.
|
---|
177 |
|
---|
178 | ### s.trim([ charType ])
|
---|
179 |
|
---|
180 | Trims content matching `charType` (defaults to `\s`, i.e. whitespace) from the start and end. Returns `this`.
|
---|
181 |
|
---|
182 | ### s.trimStart([ charType ])
|
---|
183 |
|
---|
184 | Trims content matching `charType` (defaults to `\s`, i.e. whitespace) from the start. Returns `this`.
|
---|
185 |
|
---|
186 | ### s.trimEnd([ charType ])
|
---|
187 |
|
---|
188 | Trims content matching `charType` (defaults to `\s`, i.e. whitespace) from the end. Returns `this`.
|
---|
189 |
|
---|
190 | ### s.trimLines()
|
---|
191 |
|
---|
192 | Removes empty lines from the start and end. Returns `this`.
|
---|
193 |
|
---|
194 | ### s.isEmpty()
|
---|
195 |
|
---|
196 | Returns true if the resulting source is empty (disregarding white space).
|
---|
197 |
|
---|
198 | ## Bundling
|
---|
199 |
|
---|
200 | To concatenate several sources, use `MagicString.Bundle`:
|
---|
201 |
|
---|
202 | ```js
|
---|
203 | var bundle = new MagicString.Bundle();
|
---|
204 |
|
---|
205 | bundle.addSource({
|
---|
206 | filename: 'foo.js',
|
---|
207 | content: new MagicString( 'var answer = 42;' )
|
---|
208 | });
|
---|
209 |
|
---|
210 | bundle.addSource({
|
---|
211 | filename: 'bar.js',
|
---|
212 | content: new MagicString( 'console.log( answer )' )
|
---|
213 | });
|
---|
214 |
|
---|
215 | // Advanced: a source can include an `indentExclusionRanges` property
|
---|
216 | // alongside `filename` and `content`. This will be passed to `s.indent()`
|
---|
217 | // - see documentation above
|
---|
218 |
|
---|
219 | bundle.indent() // optionally, pass an indent string, otherwise it will be guessed
|
---|
220 | .prepend( '(function () {\n' )
|
---|
221 | .append( '}());' );
|
---|
222 |
|
---|
223 | bundle.toString();
|
---|
224 | // (function () {
|
---|
225 | // var answer = 42;
|
---|
226 | // console.log( answer );
|
---|
227 | // }());
|
---|
228 |
|
---|
229 | // options are as per `s.generateMap()` above
|
---|
230 | var map = bundle.generateMap({
|
---|
231 | file: 'bundle.js',
|
---|
232 | includeContent: true,
|
---|
233 | hires: true
|
---|
234 | });
|
---|
235 | ```
|
---|
236 |
|
---|
237 | As an alternative syntax, if you a) don't have `filename` or `indentExclusionRanges` options, or b) passed those in when you used `new MagicString(...)`, you can simply pass the `MagicString` instance itself:
|
---|
238 |
|
---|
239 | ```js
|
---|
240 | var bundle = new MagicString.Bundle();
|
---|
241 | var source = new MagicString( someCode, {
|
---|
242 | filename: 'foo.js'
|
---|
243 | });
|
---|
244 |
|
---|
245 | bundle.addSource( source );
|
---|
246 | ```
|
